Named after the Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, these intermolecular forces include attractions and repulsions that affect the physical properties and behaviors of molecules. They are ...

During laboratory and field tests, the released particles were demonstrated to maneuver and harvest microplastics for up to ...

Van der Waals forces, once deemed too weak for structural integrity, have been shown to create stable, highly porous frameworks with exceptional thermal resilience and reversible assembly ...

Van der Waals heterostructures are engineered by stacking different van der Waals materials in a controlled sequence, allowing the creation of new materials with tailored properties. This technique ...

For the development of van der Waals thin films with high electronic performance, mechanical stretchability, and permeability for highly flexible, adaptable and breathable bioelectronic membranes. The ...
